Well, I finished the book already. Three times. Once on friday, saturday and sunday. Muahahahahahha. Coffee helps. But not when you have a floorball match the next day very early in the morning against a bunch of fit and huge NUS people. Anyway, the book became interesting to me once i realised how influential it was. I began reading about its past, and I realised its influence or other books and films. The glitzy scene of America became the scene for many of hollywoods shows, and the romantic storyline which i felt was predictable was only because i realised that the great(and not so great) hollywood films, have loosely used the plot and the concept of the book many times. For example, the whole "past lovers" thing, which brings about moral dilemna, is an issue in Casablanca as well. And the new rich vs aristocrat rich is also another issue raised in films like "Titanic", although it does emulate PnP to a certain extent but in a more objective and balanced way.
